1) RALPH NADER VISITS OHIO
***************************************************
Ralph Nader has continued to be very active since
last Fall's campaign traveling and speaking nation-
wide particularly at college campuses.

Ralph Nader visited Ohio twice in April. Early in
the month, he appeared at the Kent State University
Tuscarawas Campus in New Philadelphia. Later, he
appeared at Ohio Northern University in Ada.

Since Ralph's speaking engagements are confirmed
usually only a few days in advance, one of the best
ways to know when he will be in Ohio is through our
SPECIAL ALERTS sent to you in addition to this news-
letter. As soon as we know, we will let you know.

6) HUNGER IN OHIO: THE STATE OF THE STATE 2001
***************************************************
The Ohio Hunger Task Force has published "Hunger in
Ohio: the State of the State 2001'" a comprehensive
overview of the status of hunger in Ohio. This publi-
cation contains the most recent data on food inse-
curity and the new measure of hunger initiated by the
USDA and US Bureau of Census.

The report found that 8% of Ohioans report that they
repeatedly experience hunger, have reduced the food
intake of family members, or were concerned about the
quality of their diet. Also, Ohio is lagging behind
the rest of the country in child nutrition programs.
